EPISODE # 41 – Offering Yourself Grace with Renee Litke
On this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, one of my coaching clients, Renee Litke, shares her experience of being coached, and what she created in her life and her marriage throughout our work together.
Renee is currently a Senior Clinical Strategist at a major health company, and she’s a former nurse with a Master’s Degree in Management. She grew from being on the floor with direct patient care, to a senior case manager at a top ranking pediatric hospital, to then specializing in vaccine-related diseases.
She now works exclusively with C-Suite leadership teams to develop and create value based care programs and in her work, she focuses on innovation and population health strategies.
In the episode, we talk about why Renee chose to work with me after 34 years of marriage, what knowledge and tools she gained through her coaching experience, and how it transformed her marriage.
